CADWELD® - Technical Advantages
THE CADWELD® WELD
• Has a current-carrying capacity equal to that
of the conductor
• Creates a permanent bond that withstands
repeated fault currents and will not loosen,
deteriorate or increase in resistance
• Consistently performs the best in
independent IEEE® 837 tests
• Is easy to check visibly for quality
RELIABILITY
As the molecular bond eliminates the concept
of surface contact, an electrolyte cannot penetrate
between the conductors and cause oxidation and
deterioration in the course of time.
CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENTS
The melting temperature of CADWELD
connection is higher than the melting temperature
of copper (1082°C). For this reason, in the
event of abnormal heating due to a high fault
current, the conductor is destroyed before the
connection.
CONDUCTIVITY
The CADWELD connections form a solid bond
around the conductors assuring continuity. The
cross sectional area of the weld has greater
current carrying capacity than the conductors.
PERFORMANCE
Standard CADWELD welds have a cross
section greater than that of the conductors
to be joined, which compensates for the
difference in resistivity between the
conductor and the welding material.
Consequently, under fault conditions the
weld will always remain cooler than the
conductor.
If special applications do not allow for the
required increase in cross section to be
employed, the use of the formula:
R = p x l and V= R x l
S
will make it possible to define precisely the
resistance of the CADWELD® weld.
This accelerated ageing test, carried out
in a saline environment at a controlled
temperature, demonstrates that
CADWELD® welds retain all their electrical properties during the period of
the test whereas the resistance of
mechanical connections increase with
time and this alters their conductive
properties.
CADWELD's exceptional performance
is due to its reliability resulting from
the molecular bond.

CADWELD® - Technical Advantages
GROUNDING SYSTEM – CONDUCTORS AND CONNECTORS
IEEE® Std. 80-1986, Guide for Safety in
Substation Grounding, uses a fusing formula
as the basis for selecting minimum
conductor size to avoid fusing (melting)
under fault conditions.
The grounding conductor size is based on the
maximum magnitude and duration of available
fault current, and on the type of connections
being used in the grounding system.
This formula can be simplified to the following:
Where:
A=K•I
S
A = Conductor size in mm2
K = Constant from the following table
I = RMS fault current in amperes
S = Fault time in seconds
Based on the standard ambient temperature of 40C.

Technical Information
CADWELD ®
THE MOLECULAR BOND
THE CADWELD® MOULD
USING CADWELD PLUS
CADWELD® EXOTHERMIC CONNECTION
A welding process that eliminates the
connection by forming a molecular bond.
Connections are the weak point of all electrical circuits and especially
earthing circuits subjected to aging and corrosion. The capacity of an
earthing circuit to protect the safety of personnel depends on the quality of
the connections made.
BS 6651 (1992) STATES :
"Any joint other than welded represents a discontinuity in the current
conducting system and is susceptible to variation and failure.”
CADWELD ® – The Molecular Bond
The CADWELD® process provides a way to produce copper/copper,
copper/galvanized or plain steel, copper/copper clad steel,
copper/bronze/brass/stainless steel, steel/steel, molecular bonds with
no external energy or heat source.
The principle consists of bringing together a welding materials and
ignition agent in a suitable graphite mould.
The reduction of copper oxide by aluminium produces molten copper
and aluminium oxide slag at extremely high temperatures.
The shape of the mould, its dimensions, and the size of the welding
material, are all dependent on the items to be welded.

4 Simple Steps For Permanently Welded
Electrical Connections
The CADWELD PLUS Control Unit initiates the reaction of
the metal crucible. The standard unit includes a 1.8 meter
(6-foot) high temperature control unit lead. The lead attaches
to the ignition strip using a custom made, purpose-designed
termination clip.
Insert CADWELD PLUS

The CADWELD MULTI combines a versatile mould block and a
range of gaskets (batting) to allow numerous different welded
connections to be produced without the need to change the
mould for each connection type.
The process is similar to the traditional CADWELD with one distinct
difference... there is no need to change the mould for different
connection types.
The whole process is complete in about one minute. The connection table
details the gasket quantities required for each weld.

CADWELD ground plates used in concrete structures
offer convenient ground system connection points.
These ground points are used for equipment,
machinery and structure grounding after completion of
the concrete work.
The castings are made from a copper alloy ...
CADWELD ground plate connections result in current
carrying capacity equal to that of the conductor or stud
and cannot loosen or corrode.

Packing
Packing consists of either preformed ceramic packing or sometimes B140A
or B141A copper wrap shim. Packing is required on all rebar connections.
CADWELD Mould Sealer
T403 CADWELD Mould Sealer is ideal for sealing hot or cold moulds to retard
leakage from large stranded conductors. It is required on certain moulds such as
Types HA, HB, HC, VG and VN. It prolongs useful mould life when the cable opening
becomes worn.
T403
www.erico.com
It is available in a convenient 0.9 kg package.

CABLE AND WORK SURFACE PREPARATION
Cable Cleaning Brushes
Two types of brushes are available to aid in removing oxides and cleaning copper
surfaces. T313 Card Cloth Brush with short stiff bristles is generally preferred for cleaning
concentric conductors and busbars, which are not heavily oxidized.
T313
T314 Cable Cleaning Brush cleans any conductor and is especially useful
for coarse or very dirty conductors. The brushes can be rotated to provide
new cleaning bristles and are replaceable.
T314
Cable Clamp B265
The B265 Cable clamp should be used with hard drawn copper cable,
Copperweld® DSA conductor or any cable under tension. Use of the clamp aids
in preventing cable movement and prolongs mould life.
B265
Rasp
T321 rasp is used to remove rust from any steel surface or galvanizing from hot
dipped galvanized steel to expose the bare steel for welding. The curved blade
makes it an efficient tool for flat surfaces. T321A Replacement blades are
also available.
T321
Surefire® Torch Head
T111 Self igniting propane torch head. Squeeze the control knob for an instant flame.
Release and it’s out. No flame adjusting. The burn tip remains cool during normal use.
Operates on its side or upside down. Can withstand 60 MPH winds without flareout.
Fits all standard 14 and 16 oz. propane cylinders.
T111
Galvanizing Touch-Up
Easy to use galvanizing paint in a spray can is used to touch up heat affected areas on
galvanized steel surfaces after welding. The damage to the galvanizing is often minimal
so the repair is often cosmetic. T372A galvanizing compound available in 12 ounce
aerosol can.
T372A
Galvanizing Bar
T319
T319 Galvanizing Bar is used to repair a galvanized surface that has been
damaged by welding or drilling. This is a low temperature,
self-fluxing material. Often there is sufficient heat after making the
CADWELD® Connection to melt the bar or a small torch may be used.

Disks
Each time a weld is made, a new disk is required. The disk sits on the bottom of the
crucible. Its purpose is to hold the welding material until the reaction takes place. The
slag produced by the reaction rises to the surface and the molten copper settles to the
bottom of the crucible where it melts the disk and melts through the conductors to
produce a permanent molecular bond.
Disks are available in three sizes:
B117A used in moulds using #15 thru #32 welding material (3/4" diameter).
B117B used in moulds using #45 thru #115 welding material (1" diameter).
B117C used in moulds using #150 thru #500 welding material (1-1/2" diameter).
Disks are included with Welding Material.
Disk Kit
A disk container (T328) which includes 20 of each of the three sizes of steel disks is
available for your convenience. Kit P/N T328D.
